GDT: Game 44: Sharks @ Utah 6:00pm NBCSCA

That effort by Granlund on the last goal was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. No wonder the dude was getting tossed around the league before. And some want to re-sign him? Ridiculous
 
jesus f***ing christ AHL Smith pisses me off sometimes. But we are just a terrible team. At least Coach finally decided to shorten the bench and settled on the correct lines. Question is will he continue to use them?
 
I swear I've dealt with meth-heads who look exactly like Tkachuk in the 4 nations commercial. Always swinging and saying such mean things about everyone just to get a sandwich and ativan.

I hate our penalty kill too, which has been getting totally undeserved credit. They retreat into a small bunched formation, pray the other team fumbles the puck or that they get a lucky bounce that enables them to clear the puck while every other team applies pressure to the guy with the puck to pressure him into making a mistake.

what about the rest of the team? Instead of focusing on the 19 year old rookie, maybe focus on the guys that have been around forever and should be making the big boy plays. Your infatuation with Smith is ridiculous

Especially when smith was the only one willing to shoot the puck tonight. It took celebrini, granlund, toffoli, wennberg, eklund, kunin until the final 10 minutes of the game to get there first shots on net.
 
So I've tried to keep my thoughts on Smith to a minimum but woof. Kid is processing the game SO slowly right now and his brief appearance on PP1 at the end of the game just put a big spotlight on it.

Is it still anathema to suggest Smith to the A?

The rest of the team isn't getting blessed with playing with Macklin as their center. He is our most dynamic player so if you are his winger you gotta step up. Instead Smith is neutering him. I mean you saw how he neutered the entire offense at the end of the game. He has to be with Granlund already. Granny and Eklund can probably work around him, but losing Celebrini's line as a threat is absolutely killing things.

He's not going to the A but a development day or two might be good.

Relative to expectations, I would say Smith is our greatest underperformed this season. Is there anyone who has been more disappointing (again, relative to expectations)?

I mean that's his job, it's literally all he can do. And he has to be so open to do it, it's no wonder he never scores. His line has to work so hard to get it to him, it kills total opportunities as well.

If you had more expectations then a 30 point player then that is on you, and that is exactly what he is performing at.

I don’t buy that he’s neutered the line. I think you’re seeing Celebrini hit a bit of a slump and it happens to line up with Smith being on his line. Kunin was blessed to play with Celebrini today and he also looked like dog shit, but I’m guessing that’s on Smith as well who wasn’t on the ice for either goal against.

While I agree Smith should be in the AHL this year, he’s not and he won’t be so continuously calling him AHL Smith and blaming all of the team’s problems on him is getting a bit redundant
